Smoke and fire alarms are an important part of your home`s safety plan and careful attention must be made to proper fire alarm installation and wiring. The information below will provide some basic guidelines for installing a fire alarm system in your new home. -Install the first alarm in the immediate area of the bedrooms. Try to protect the exit

path as the bedrooms are usually farthest from the exit. If more than one sleeping area exists, locate additional alarms in each sleeping area. -Smoke, heat, and combustion products rise to the ceiling and spread horizontally. Mounting the smoke alarm on the ceiling in the center of the room places it closest to all points in the room. Ceiling mounting is preferred in ordinary residential construction. -When mounting a fire alarm on the wall, use an inside wall with the top edge of the alarm at a minimum of 4 (10 cm) and a maximum of 12 (30. 5 cm) below the ceiling (see Diagram A). -When Fire Alarm Installation is on sloped, peaked or cathedral ceilings at or within 3ft of the highest point (measured horizontally). NFPA 72 states: Smoke alarms in rooms with ceiling slopes greater than 1 foot in 8 feet horizontally shall be located on the high side of the room. NFPA 72 states: A row of detectors shall be spaced and located within 3 ft of the peak of the ceiling measured horizontally (see diagram C ). -Fire alarms should not be installed within 3 ft of the following: the door to a kitchen, the door to a bathroom containing a tub or shower, forced air ducts used for heating or cooling, ceiling or whole house ventilating fans, or other high air flow areas. -Kitchens. Normal cooking may cause nuisance alarms. If a kitchen fire alarm is desired, it should have an alarm silence feature or be a photoelectric type. -Fire...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
